'''Fuse''' was initially developed by Mixamo and distributed through Steam (up to version 1.3). Apart from automatic rigging of the characters assembled in '''Fuse''', Mixamo provides a large collection of animations (which, like the character shapes and materials in Fuse, are customizable to some extent with several sliders). Initially '''Fuse''' users could also upload their own custom character settings ("assemblies", or '''*.fuse''' files) to the Mixamo server, so as to store them in the cloud and to share them with the community. | '''Fuse''' was initially developed by Mixamo and distributed through Steam (up to version 1.3).

Cloud storage of custom Fuse characters was also dropped after Adobe acquired Mixamo and took over Fuse. However, at the time of writing, both programs still work and can be combined into a very powerful "character factory" (by merging the character and clothes/hair libraries, and by importing clothes/hair from other sources). | Cloud storage of custom Fuse characters was also dropped after Adobe acquired Mixamo and took over Fuse.
